[MlMt] Fwd: MailMate and Monterey

[Thomas Bartlett]

> activated in both Correction: I was referring to Outlook and Hotmail, but neglected to mention Hotmail.

Further correction: I find that my intention in that statement was mistaken. The Hotmail account does have OAuth2 checked, but Outlook account uses the app-specific password without activating OAuth2.

In Keychain Access, there is no separate entry relating to the Hotmail account, apparently because it also uses the outlook.com server.

Question: given that 1) Hotmail can now send and receive through the same server as Outlook by using OAuth2 without a password (apparently?), where as 2) Outlook can receive but not send using a password without OAuth2, therefore 3) might Outlook be able to send and receive, just like Hotmail, if I remove the password and activate OAuth2?  I think I tried that earlier but found it wanting, so I got the passwords, but I don’t remember for certain the sequence of my attempts to fix it.
